Chapter 1417: Little Stinky Treasure! (Bonus Chapter)
The atmosphere once hit freezing point!
Jiang Tianchen looked at Yang Jian on the office desk, his mouth twitching, his face full of embarrassment!
(٥･᷄ㅂ･᷅) "Um~ how about you continue first? I'll come back in five minutes? Try to be quick!"
Yang Jian: !!!
Why does someone always come in whenever I celebrate?
What invisible force is controlling all this?
Next time, I'm definitely locking the office door!
Watch my topic-changing technique!
"Jiang... cough, Jiangnan might be dead! But his team is no pushover either!"
Jiang Tianchen was startled: "You mean..."
Yang Jian nodded heavily, his face full of excitement: "Surprise! We really got it!"
"Quickly call Han Menglu to bring the incantation expert team to prepare for the Star Gate repair work!"
"The missing incantation fragment has been found!"
Without another word, Jiang Tianchen turned and rushed out of the office!
Once the Star Gate can be activated, its help to the Moon Embrace Plan is far from trivial!
It can become the most crucial core item in the plan!
It might even allow Huaxia to gain absolute initiative in this moon landing competition!
Luo Tianqing, well done!
...
In Room 888 of the Blood Capital Ula Hotel, Jiang Tianqing grinned as he looked at the three "awesome" replies from Yang Jian!
Time to head back!
And Jiangnan saw several more messages on the chat interface!
Including one from Luo Yuhui!
Dad: "(◞‸◟) Eh~ that matchmaking thing I mentioned earlier, it fell through. You don't need to come back recently!"
Jiangnan panicked—how did it fall through? Sister Tianqing is so old, if she doesn't find someone soon, she'll never get married!
So he quickly replied using Luo Tianqing's account!
Qingtian Zhu: "(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) How did it fall through? Is it that I, Luo Tianqing, am not strong enough or not good-looking enough? How am I not worthy of them?"
Dad: "(ᄑ_ᄑ) No... how could my daughter not be worthy? It's that they're not worthy of you, so I turned them all down!"
Qingtian Zhu: !!!
"(O･᷅ὢ･᷄) They are worthy! How are they not? Match! Definitely match!"
Dad: "(smirking) Do I have to tell you it's because they heard you peed your pants in front of a bunch of people, found it disgusting, and politely declined?"
"You're really something! You've embarrassed yourself all the way overseas?"
Jiangnan's expression froze, sweat pouring from his forehead!
(•́_•̀٥)…
Whoa! The news spread that wide? Everyone in the Luo family knows?
Mom: "(。ớ₃ờ) Daughter, don't be afraid! Who hasn't peed their pants? Don't worry about it. Even if no one loves you, your mother loves you!"
Grandpa: "Granddaughter! Strong! You've got this. Strive to uphold the title of World's Strongest Diamond. It brings great honor to your grandfather!"
"Peeing your pants doesn't matter. I did it myself a couple of days ago. Don't put pressure on yourself!"
"(◞͡°͜ʖ͡°) People only see your brilliance in success, not the pants you peed behind your back!"
Jiangnan: ???
Grandpa Luo!
That's just your age—your valve is leaking, right?
You dare to say that?
Jiangnan swallowed. After all, she's Mountain Cat's sister. When I return her account, she probably won't beat me to death, right?
Just as Jiangnan was hesitating whether to call Luo Tianqing first to test the waters—
The door opened, and Bai Kou entered the room with Harte and Mo Mo!
Jiangnan instantly perked up, teleporting to the table!
(๑¥‿¥) "You said a thousand or eight hundred billion—you can't shortchange me!"
With that, he whipped out the vendor cloth and spread it on the table!
Harte covered his face. He'd long heard that Nan Shen had a hobby of setting up a street stall.
Even now, he still lays out the vendor cloth? Does he need that much ceremony?
But Bai Kou's face was full of hesitation.
She sat across from Jiangnan, her body stiff as a board, constantly fidgeting with her hands, unable to sit still.
˚‧º·(❆ớ﹏ờ)‧º·˚(ᵒ̴̶̷ωᵒ̴̶̷ʃƪ)
Jiangnan looked at Bai Kou expectantly.
Time ticked by, second after second. Neither spoke.
The smile on Jiangnan's face gradually froze.
(≖_≖) "Don't tell me you don't have the money?"
Bai Kou's face flushed red, full of embarrassment.
(´-﹏-`٥) "I... I don't have that much!"
She had never really had a concept of money—after all, whatever she needed, someone would deliver it to her.
She had casually agreed back then. Who knew a thousand or eight hundred billion was that much?
Jiangnan's eyes widened: (OÕ口Õ) "You're kidding me? You're a ceiling-level Dao Heaven, lived through two ancient Gusu eras, a two-thousand-year-old antique—and you don't have a little money?"
"How did you even survive? Before you went into hibernation, didn't you bury any pots, bowls, or the like?"
"When you woke up, those would have been antiques!"
Bai Kou tilted her head: (❆•̌.•̑) "Why would I bury pots? I just brought a Star Ring and went to sleep!"
Jiangnan looked at her with utter disappointment.
(ﾉ)´-frustrated-`) "That's why you're poor! You wasted two thousand years!"
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao were speechless. Who the hell buries pots?
Only you would have that idea!
Bai Kou gritted her teeth, raised her little fist, and puffed up angrily.
(angry) "You're the one who wasted it! Didn't get enough from the big red envelope?"
Jiangnan immediately backed down, muttering.
(๑◔3◔ิ๑) "Anyway, without money, I won't give you the Star Ring. That was our deal—no backing out!"
Without money, he couldn't do a soul imprint. He really couldn't return the Star Ring.
Bai Kou knew she was in the wrong and tentatively asked.
"How... how much do you want? Let me see if I have it!"
Jiangnan closed his eyes and held up four fingers to Bai Kou.
(︶.̮︶✽) ლ
If not a thousand or eight hundred billion, she must have 40 billion, right?
Pay back 20 to the system and earn 20 for himself—that should be fine, right?
Jiangnan half-opened his eyes, sneaking a peek at Bai Kou.
(︶⌂◔ิ๑)
If not 40, then 30! No lower than that, ok!
But Bai Kou was ecstatic!
(❆❛ัᗜ❛ั) "Four hundred billion? I have that! I can transfer it to you right now!"
Jiangnan's eyes bulged, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
(꒪ε꒪O)
Four hundred?
Holy crap!
I'm the poor one after all?
He thought Bai Kou was broke, but she actually had reserves!
Jiangnan's hands trembled with excitement. So much money converted into skill points—how long would that last him?
But he forced himself to stay calm!
(︶ก︶๑) "Ahem! I'll reluctantly accept it then. After all, we're friends!"
Bai Kou was full of gratitude: "Thank you! You're so easy to talk to!"
She immediately had Harte transfer the money to Jiangnan's account.
Xia Yao watched Jiangnan frantically pinching his own thigh and couldn't help but snicker.
Reluctantly? You're about to pass out from joy!
Meanwhile, Lan stood in awe, staring at Jiangnan's back.
Σ(°△°๑)
He just made 400 billion like that?
In that moment, Jiangnan's silhouette seemed like a god to Little Lan.
She still had a long way to go!
She had to surpass Lan and outshine Nan!
With 400 billion in hand, Jiangnan was so excited he almost fainted.
He quickly checked his system.
The 20 billion stall fee debt was paid off. The rest was split at a 9.99 to 0.01 ratio for the stall fee.
The remainder was converted into skill points.
But when Jiangnan looked at his skill point balance, his expression froze.
How is it only 36 million skill points?
That was 400 billion! At a 100:1 conversion rate, it should have been 4 billion skill points!
Jiangnan raged: !!!
System, stinky treasure! Are you bad at math?
How did you calculate the account? Where are my skill points?
[Because this payment was 400 billion E currency!]
[According to the exchange rate, it's actually 35.77 billion Huaxia small cash!]
[After deducting the 20 billion stall fee debt, the remaining amount is converted and paid proportionally. No problem!]
Jiangnan's eyes turned red.
He slammed the table and roared!
(angry shout) "Bullshit!"
Why did you bring in the exchange rate again?
When I scammed over ten billion dollars in Yu Guo, why didn't you convert it to Huaxia cash?
You damn black-hearted system, you're always skimming my hard-earned money!
The entire room fell silent because of Jiangnan's roar.
Bai Kou fidgeted with her fingers and whispered weakly.
(๑◔‸◔ิ๑) "I... I didn't fart!"
Jiangnan's mouth twitched, full of embarrassment.
(´-ㅂ-`；) "Ah ha— ahaha, I wasn't talking about you. Got too excited. Forgive me."
But inside, Jiangnan was cursing like crazy.
I don't care anymore! Deduct my money! Let's hurt each other!
After I go to the moon, I'll just stay in Saha La for a year or two!
System, stinky treasure! Just you wait!
[(๑◔﹏◔ิ๑)]
It took Jiangnan a long time to calm down. But when he thought about it, he was still angry.
The system skims me, so I have to skim others!
Jiangnan propped his chin and looked seriously at Bai Kou.
(❀╹ก╹) "Even though we're friends, the most important thing between friends is commitment. You have to admit, you defaulted first, right?"
Bai Kou looked downcast.
(◞‸◟) "Y-yes... but I really don't have any more money!"
"Just give me the Star Ring, okay? I already lent you the Godslayer Blade!"
Jiangnan covered his face. She's playing the emotional card again—how can he resist?
(︶～︶*) "Anyway, I'm not satisfied right now. You have to compensate me with something valuable, something rare—preferably a spirit pearl!"
"If it's a Dao Heaven-tier spirit pearl, even better!"
Harte's mouth twitched from the side.
Why don't you just directly ask for that Falcon King's spirit pearl? You're practically reading out its ID number!
At this point, how could Bai Kou not understand?
Dao Heaven-tier spirit pearls might be rare, but they were useless to Bai Kou—she didn't need new spirit techniques.
If she wanted more, she could just kill again!
So she handed the Falcon King's spirit pearl to Jiangnan, full of anticipation.
(ʃƪᵒ̴̶̷ωᵒ̴̶̷) "Can you give it to me now?"
Jiangnan took the spirit pearl, his eyes sparkling with joy. He breathed on it, wiped it on his clothes, and stuffed it into his pocket.
Finally got my hands on it!
Mila watched Jiangnan's actions and then looked at Mila again.
It's like they were cut from the same mold. Could Lan be Jiangnan's biological daughter?
With the spirit pearl in hand, Jiangnan didn't pressure Bai Kou further.
As agreed, he gave Bai Kou the complete Star Ring and half of the Oracle's Tears.
He even split half of the Cold Mountain Ling Xu core with Bai Kou.
